I use Omnisphere and Kontakt a lot, and Mixcraft for a DAW on Windows. I'm looking for a small controller to put on my desk for quick ideas, AND to make scrolling through patches a bit easier.
I'm considering picking up either a Novation Remote SL MKII 49 keys or an AKAI Advance 49. In specs, both seem to have solid keybeds, pads (AKAI seems bettter here) and faders/knobs seem to be more stable, and their mapping software seems to be a bit worlds apart due to updates not fixing issues for many. So much so that I'm tempted to just buy an M-Audio Oxygen 49!
Any of you have been using these products - the Novation Remote and AKAI Advance?
What interests me most:
- easy, straight-forward set up.
- stable keys with velocity and aftertouch
- stable electronics (not wobbly knobs, faders, or gitchy pads)
- dependable software (mapping)
- can be used as standalone
- somewhat resistant (for gigs)
Thanks for any feedback!
